Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Help me! I have a style question:

I am filling out a form that is a Word document. The questions are in Times New Roman 11 point. I'm pressed for space with my answers. What font should I use? Using TNR for my answers means that you can hardly see the distinction between the questions and the answers. Ariel is the other font I'd tend to use, but it's kind of big. The person who filled out this form last year used italics, but I think that's crappy -- making people read pages of italics.

What do you all think?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

sara, that sucks.

Jesse, I'd use Verdana in 9 point.

edit: not Verdana. Tahoma. D'oh!

Coding and Sleeping

Avoid italics. Do you have Ariel Narrow?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good lord, sarameg, can you get that changed? Preferably by going back in time and making it have never been.

Oh yeah, and the directions say use 11 or 12 point font. Somehow Ariel Narrow looks too small...OH! Ariel Narrow 12 point! That looks good.

Jesse, how would Courier New look?

The whitefonted Wedding Date discussion is amusing me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So if the uterus is split that way, it'd have to be fraternal, huh?

Sara, dear LORD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jesse, how would Courier New look?

Being a nonproportional font, I'm guessing this would take up too much space.

Sara, the actual phone book? oy.

Jesse, how would Courier New look?

Dude, Courier is huge. I think the Ariel Narrow thing is fine. I just suddenly got overwhelmed by the long list of fonts!

For how long?

I dunno. Hasn't been forever. I'd bet it had been since they switched systems, but I have no idea when that happened either.

The thing is, the helpdesk IS routed to me 50% of the time, so it isn't that big of a deal. It just explains why on off times, I'll get a call and the caller will be confused "Uh, is this the helpdesk?" (I answer differently, depending on the line.)
